I've done that Steelfang... For me it's like I wasted so much time depressed I must get work done NOW, I'm finally able to focus must keep going & get caught up on it all, I've found the solution finally!

I have stimulants for ADD, I have over used them before because I didn't want the productive feeling to stop. Would stay up all night in my office, bad part of town & still be there when employees arrived. But I haven't done that in a couple years. Nowadays I feel like I'm older & need more self control. So I don't take them everyday. I watch the clock & don't take them after a certain time. And I try to sleep every night.

But mania in and of itself can feel like meth or stimulants. Pdocs say this & I've experienced it too. Sleep deprivation probably does the same thing right? But I think moderation is best to avoid the dreaded crash.
